A lot depends on the size of the database. If it is small (<40G), then you can use the export/import method.

However, if your database is large (>40G), I would suggest using the migration assistant (odma). The migration assistant is a GUI that will guide you through all the steps you need to perform this migration with a few clicks of your mouse.

See ( http://technet.oracle.com/docs/produ...prep.htm#10266 ) for a discussion on the different migration methods and how you would implement each.
